One of Secretary Puno's concerns as the head of the Department of the Interior and Local Government is to keep local officials in line. To make it easier for the department to provide better frontline services to the general public, Secretary Puno urged the people to bring their complaints against local officials, policemen, jail guards, and firemen at the Common Folk's Day held during Friday at the DILG Office in Quezon City.
A memorandum from the Office of the President ordered all heads of departments and agencies of the government to have a Common Folk's Day. Here's what Secretary Puno had to say: " It is proper that we set aside a day of the week for the DILG to directly attend to the needs and concerns of the people, in compliance with President Arroyo's directive on this matter."
"From helping guarantee the safety of every Filipino home, to making sure the basic services are delivered efficiently by our local governments, the DILG touches the lives of many Filipinos every day in many ways," he added. By allowing common people to air their grievances, the DILG can weed out corrupt officials. Furthermore, they could streamline their services to make it easier for the public to get the services that they need on time.
In accordance with the memorandum, Secretary Ronnie Puno has mandated his undersecretaries and officials of the National Police Commission, Philippine National Police, Legal Service, National Barangay Operations Office, Bureau of Fire Protection and the Bureau of Jail Management and Penology to be present during Common Folk's Day.
Also, this would not work if people would not attend it. Therefore, Secretary Ronnie Puno has urged the public to attend the Common Folk's Day. After all, the most important aim of this is to further help the people by providing them with better services. With the complaints from the general public pouring in, the department can formulate plans to make their services better. This is yet another action being taken by the administration and the DILG to bring the government closer and more accessible to the public which it aims to serve to the fullest.
